Beginner's luck 7/3. LJ
made our way to the yt grounds with about 8-10 macs each.. and it was a struggle against the wind. no hobie = you're dying. finally got there and started to soak the macs. we each get stolen by seals once or twice. i'm soaking my mac at 80ft of water and staring at the New Seaforth pulling up 100yd away. all of a sudden my reel screams and i'm on a big fish. it ran straight down into kelp and i only have 10ft of 20# fluro so i backed off the drag a bit. 10-15min later... towed within 100ft of the cattle boat, 86 viewers at the bow, and with deefeesha's gaff assist, i stick my very first yt on the yak! (42" lenth, 25lbs) i bleed it out right there (later to find out that there was a GWS nearby). we stayed until about 4:30 and each missed a yt. went back to shore, where i flipped my yak. all gear was retrieved. no rods suffered casualties. great first time out at LJ! but now my arms are dead sore. beginner's luck footnotes: found the best bait. caught first yt. didnt get eaten by GWS. flipped yak with no losses. got stuck in the sand at the launch

Nice job, I also flipped on the way in when I caught my first yellow on the yak 7 years ago. A perfect pearl, I did not lose anything either. You have been baptized at La Jolla! Nothing like your first yellow!
